Live B&M 4/8 game
It's 10:30 in the am much too early for poker. All of the red chip and green chip players are still in bed but here I am at the old card barn. I must be sick. Most of the 10/20 crew is lounging not wanting to play in the unchallenging 4/8. (Hint they can't beat 4/8 either) I started egging on a guy who keeps threatening to buy ten racks, the next thing I know he's buying ten racks, and so am I.
Well if you have ever seen me play I’ve taken on Ed’s pyramid stacking routine. I did violate Mason’s description of the technique though and I had a tri-level going in the 9 hole. Oddly this put quite a bit of my stack beyond the action line. I thought of going with new architecture but decided that I’m just set in my ways and good design is good design. Our anti-Hero went with a simple double stacked square that was frankly unflattering. If one is going to power buy one needs to power stack too.
The action in the game has been a little um well loose. (It is after all 4-8) Normally 5 or so to the flop for 2 bets with every 6th hand or so capped. What are you going to do?
We are 8 handed because a player got up to change tables after the power buy.
I’m in LMP and have AdQd.
Folds to an EMP player who limps, he’s a tight player who raises with 2 hands. His limp is to be respected. 1 fold and an MP Player on my right raises, it’s his birthday and he’s here to “gambol”. He will raise just about anything he will play here. I smooth call, a loose sometimes wild button calls and an as yet quite BB comes along.
Flop is A K Q r
Checks to Tight guy who bets out, our raiser calls, and I raise. The rest of the field folds and tight guy calls as does the pre-flop raiser.
Turn: J putting a spade 2 flush on the board
Tight guy checks, our loose raisers looks down at his stack then at the board and silently taps the felt, I check behind.
River A
Tight guy bets out, pre flop raiser mucks, and I raise, Tight guy looks unhappy and calls.
